The Herald’s Oct. 4 editorial (“Democrats can and must hold this president accountable now”) says that President Trump should be impeached “to hold this president accountable for appearing to seek to trade foreign military assistance for something of value, dirt on his rivals; and his administration for seeking to conceal it.”

“Appearing to seek”? The president should be impeached not because he did something (show us in the transcript where), but because he “appeared” to do something?

How anti-American is that? You want to negate the votes of half of the voters in the United States because you’re partisan and you get to determine what something “appears” to be?

And why isn’t the Herald aware that the “hid it away” part is really what the White House started doing after embedded bureaucratic Democrats leaked previous phone conversations with leaders? Calls have to be locked in secure computers because the Democrats will leak them, regardless of any concern for the security of the United States.

Remember, by the way, the Democrats also leaked documents during all previous Republican administrations. This is nothing new, this disdain for the United States.

Editor’s note: The editorial applauded the impeachment inquiry, not impeachment.
